the "new york times" published a chilling account of a muslim cleric in yemen named salem ahmed bin ali jaber. he was standing in a village mosque denouncing al qaeda, a brave thing to do -- a respected tribal figure, arguing against terrorism. but two days later, when he and a police officer cousin agreed to meet with three al qaeda members to continue the debate, all five men -- friend and foe -- were incinerated by an american drone attack. the killings infuriated the village and prompted rumors of an upwelling of support in the town for al qaeda, because, the times reported, "such a move is seen as the only way to retaliate against the united states." our blind faith in technology combined with a sense of infallible righteousness continues unabated. it brought us to grief in vietnam and iraq and may do so again with president obama's cold-blooded use of drones and his seeming indifference to so-called "collateral damage" otherwise known as innocent bystanders. by the standards of slaughter in vietnam the deaths by drone are hardly a blip on the consciousness of official washington.
